I thought pacman -Ss "string" searches packages' name and desc for the string, I wonder why the perl things show up? Cheers& happy Eastern! :)
It's because the perl package provides perl-sys-syslog. Thank you both, so pacman searches deeper than I expected.
Yes, pacman -Ss searches the -Qi for every package, not just the name and short description.
